The Perfect Smoky Eye at Chanel's Couture Show

I've been checking WWD religiously to see what's happening at the fall couture shows in Paris—and when the images from Chanel's runway went live, I knew why I'd been so obsessive. To complement Karl Lagerfeld's collection—which played on the ideas of masculinity and femininity—Peter Philips, creative director of Chanel Makeup, painted on a veiled smoky eye that was mysterious, sexy, and downright beautiful. Even if you're not into the whole masquerade thing (which was designed in part to make the models resemble burglars), you can get that moody-meets-sultry vibe at home. Here's how Philips created the look:

Eyes. Philips elevated the typical smoky black eye with a heavy dose of shimmer. He brushed Chanel's new sparkling Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mirifique around the eyes, extending the shadow to the inner corner, and lined the lower rims with Chanel's gray__Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in Ebene__.

Lips. Philips chose a peachy shade that he said was "perfect for stealing kisses." The shade of lipstick that he used (La Furtive) is, sadly, only sold in Asia—stateside, try Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in Petite Pêche.
